Ottawa is the capital of Canada. It is the second largest city in Ontario and the fourth largest city in the country.

The Centre Block is the main building on Parliament Hill (国会山). It is also the location of several ceremonial spaces, such as the Hall of Honor and the Memorial Chamber. The present Centre Block is the second iteration of the building, after the first was destroyed by fire in 1916, and it is one of the most recognizable buildings in Canada.

What benefits can you have from a film? A well-made film offers a whole world of things to watch. First there are the story aspects — the plot,characters, dialogue and themes. Then there are the technical aspects — the camera work, cuttings and special effects. And there are many other things, like the credits, musical score and the acting. Awell-made film offers much more than you see in one viewing (观看).
Films are a means of communication. They can tell you things, just as newspapers do, or television,or any other means of communication. Sometimes they communicate important things to you, like ideasor lifestyles or ways of looking at the world. Sometimes people are aware of this, and sometimes not.The more you are aware of this, the better you are.
Notice, for example, the way films sometimes affect fashion. A star dresses or wears her hair in a certain way, and suddenly everyone is imitating (模仿) her. Boys in the 1950s could sometimes be seen wearingblack leather jackets, idling (闲逛) on street corners and smoking cigarettes. They were imitating Marion Brando.  His films taught them a certain way to behave.
Films can also teach politics. In Star Wars, the heroes were a bunch of lovable incompetents (无能者) fighting with guts (胆量) and not much else. They were, in fact, rather like the British in the early days of WW II. Their enemies, like the Nazis, had a big advantage in equipment and numbers of troops, and they were like the Nazis in discipline and heartlessness too. The whole film, in fact, was a re-run (重演) of WW II,  and taught values like faith and love of liberty. This is all to the good, but the point is, did you notice it?
All of the following are mentioned as noticeable aspects of a film EXCEPT________.

The last sentence in Paragraph 1 probably means ________.

It can be inferred from the passage that in his film，Marion Brando was ________.

Star Wars is a film________.

Why do Americans struggle with watching their weight, while the French, who consume rich food, continue to stay thin? Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight. Researchers conclude that the French tend (易于) to stop eating when they feel full. However, Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over.
According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an important part of their life style. They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed (挤出) between the other daily activities. Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week. The French, instead, tend to shop daily, walking to small shops and farmers’ markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal.
After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women Don’t Get Fat, decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food. Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym.
In spite of all these differences, evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habits. Today the rate of obesity - or extreme overweight - among adults is only 6%. However, as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject (拒绝) older traditions, the obesity rate among French children has reached 17% - and is growing.
In what way are the French different from Americans according to Dr. Joseph Mercola?

This text is mainly about the relationship between ______.

Where does this text probably come from?

The Value of an Hour
It was Thanksgiving morning.  In the crowded kitchen of my small home I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey     the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in      clothes and thin little sandals(凉鞋), staying together at the door on the top step.
“Any old   ， lady？” asked one of them.
I was    . I wanted to say “no” until my eye    their sandals, which were wet with heavy snow.
“    and I’ll make you a cup of hot cocoa.”
They walked    and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the    . I served them cocoa and bread with jam to fight    the freezing cold outside.    I went back to the kitchen and started again on my household budget for Thanksgiving Day.
The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice，“Lady, are you    ？”
I looked at my old sofa covers. The girl put her cup back in its saucer(托盘)    and said,  “Your cups match your saucers.” Her voice was    with a need that no amount of food could supply. They left after that，    their papers against the wind. They hadn’t said “Thank you.” They didn’t need to. They had    me that I had so much for which to be grateful. Plain blue china cups and saucers were    worth five pence. But they matched.
I tasted the potatoes and the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a good steady job—these    ，too.
I moved the chairs back from the fire and    the living room. The muddy(沾上泥的)    of small sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to    how rich I am.
